That is a seriously motley crew of an update, but I’m behind enough on news, so as I dig my way out from under a pile of deadlines, a news roundup it is! (My long fiction update, left over from last week, is that PERSONA is officially out in the world!)

In life/event news, I’ll be at this year’s LA Times Festival of Books! My panel, on Saturday at 4:30, is titled “Bringing the Impossible to Life,” which I honestly hope means Ken Liu, Matthew Reilly, and I will… Read more »

This weekend was World Fantasy. I was thinking it was a bit late to talk about it before I realized I never even did a con report for Capclave, back in October. (Short version: It was lovely! Thanks to everyone who made me feel so welcome, and it was awesome talking with everyone.) World Fantasy was also nice, though disproportionately spent escorting people on milkshake runs. Both of them were reminders that I’m remiss in announcing stuff, so expect more of that tomorrow.
For now, Sleepy Hollow, which continues the… Read more »

A couple of announcements! First, if I have not announced it already: I’ll be a Guest of Honor at Capclave this October, alongside Holly Black and Paolo Bacigalupi!
The convention is the weekend of October 10. When not heckling Holly from the audience of whatever panels she’s doing, I hope to be talking about movies, TV, writing as a day job, and whatever else they decide to ask me and/or I can’t stop talking about.
I’ll also have a special project on sale there: my first-ever novella, DREAM HOUSES. It… Read more »

It’s Friday and I foolishly agreed to let a friend come stay with me, which means I’m screencapping Merlin: Book of Beasts in giant bursts in between desperately trying to cram all my horrible mess into a cartoon closet. Someday soon I will try cataloging some of the Musketeers’ most priceless facial expressions, but today’s not that day. Fiction update instead!
First up, amid everyone’s Readercon schedules, this seems as good a time as any to mention I’ll unfortunately be missing Readercon this year due to a family obligation. The… Read more »

I’m headed to England this week! I hope to be able to keep up with some of my shows while I’m gone (two weeks without Reign? Say it isn’t so!), but in preparation for my departure, because I will have forgotten all of this by the time I come back, have a little news!
I will be heading to Brighton for World Fantasy this weekend. (Brighton will look different than illustrated.) At this point, I’m not sure it’s possible to be more wary of the con itself, which has done… Read more »

Story news first: My technically-a-novelette “Terrain” will be published by Tor.com in the spring! I will have more to say about this story as the date approaches; for now, I’m nervous but pretty stoked.

In audio news, my Tresaultiverse story “Study, for Solo Piano” is up now and available for listening on Podcastle!
This is actually the second time this story has had a life in audio; the first time around was an interpretation by Stefan Rudnicki at Fantasy Magazine, where the story was first published.
